No, Maryland is not a community property state. Maryland is an equitable distribution state, meaning the court is not obligated to divide property equally between ex-spouses. Instead, the court will divide property in a way it finds fair.
The process of dividing property and assets is quite a bit more complicated here and in order to protect your legal rights during this step of a divorce or legal separation, it is highly advised that you have a Glen Burnie divorce attorney represent you.

Like any difficult task, if you have proper guidance, it is simpler and faster to get through.
